  1. Hi all, I after months of searching and wishing I've finally taken the plunge and brought myself a 748, I picked her up from Anglesea in North Wales yesterday and after a 6 hr drive home in sub zero temperatures on my first sports bike, not one of my best moments but I'm very proud of her, she didn't give me any problems for the whole ride home,

    She's not a minter by any means but I think I got myself a bargain, or a complete pig!

    The only problem so far is I rode her this morning and the speedo isn't working, is this a common problem, and is there any remedies I can try to fix it? Thanks guys and gals, benny
     
  2. Nice one...:upyeah:

    Check where the cable goes in to the drive thingy at the front wheel.
     
  3. Congrats. Did same with my 998s from Scotland in pissing down rain, then with my st2 through the night (had run out of hours to schedule in the daytime for a several week window).

    worth it, though, as I am sure you will find out.

    good luck with a long and interesting relationship.

  4. Cant be that much of a pig if it mafe the 6 hor ourney back :upyeah:

    Cheap enough if you get bored the cost of a 1098 motor conversion wouldn't break the bank either ;-)
